IF you cannot make that work you could try using Entourage and Import

" information from a Text file " and you then get the choice to select

" import messages from an MBOX-format text file "

Good luck

Hi Guys,

I backed up my ~/Library/Mail folder when I reformatted my laptop and
I don't seem to be able to re-import it.

Anyone know how I can restore this properly?  When I use Mails
built-in Import it only pulls in some random folders.

Hi Chris,

When you went to File > Import Mailboxes, after selecting the Mail for Mac OSX button did you select the folder CONTAINING the mailbox (.mbox) folder(s) you want to restore ---- not a mailbox folder itself, then click choose?

Cheers,
Ronni
